[Karendoll’s POV]
“How was the academy? I heard that you had a practical test in magic and practical combat skills today, and of course, you did better than Bridgette, the reluctant Modell girl, and Emily, the Urbana girl, didn’t you?”
“What are you saying? She is Karendoll, the blood of the Lewis family. Don’t worry. She will be fine. But seriously, you are so blind when it comes to our daughter!”
“Of course, I should be! After all, in Karendoll’s grade, unlike her brother, there are the Modells, entrusted with guarding the empire and the royal family, the Urbanas, who are skilled in magic, and even His Highness Claude, who is a member of the royal family. It would be unreasonable to say that I should not be concerned about them. Well, although, among them, Kaisar of the Kvist family is a useless clunker.”
My father, Grace, laughed.
It was as if he was trying to hold back, but couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.
My mother, Margaret, was caught up in my father’s laughter and laughed together with him.
“Of course, father and mother, I won first place in both magic combat and weapons combat this time. On the other hand, Kaisar came in last again in both magic and weapons combat.”
And when I answered his question, he laughed heartily, and my mother began to laugh while covering her mouth with her fan.
I despise Kaisar.
I would kill him if I could.
Even though he is a nobleman from a ducal family and has the environment to improve his abilities, he never seems to want to improve.
Just looking at him makes me want to kill him, and at the same time, I am glad that I did not become like him.
The Kvist family is a ducal family that has power, but it is doubtful how long they can maintain that power.
In the end, power comes from the family’s title and the ties that came with it, but quite a few aristocrats have grown tired of the Kvist family’s unruly behaviour ever since the current generation took over.
They will soon give up on the Kvist family, and before they know it, the Kvist family will become the naked king.
[TLN: Delusional, powerless high-ranked person.]
If that happens, even the Kvist family won’t be able to save themselves.
“Well, I’ll excuse myself.”
“Oh, training again? You sure are enthusiastic about training but don’t overdo it. You are the treasure of this house, after all.”
“Good luck.”
Then, with my parents’ voice coming from behind me, I headed for the backyard built for training.
